The Wyoming Lottery Corporation is a corporate business entity established by House Bill 77 in the 2013 legislative session and signed into law by Governor Matt Mead last March. The corporation operates as a private business and does not employ state employees or use state tax money. State law requires the first $6 million of Lottery revenue to be distributed to cities, towns and counties based on Wyoming’s sales tax formula. Any additional earnings will be deposited into the state’s Permanent Land Fund’s Common School Account.
